After every use, the garment must be hand washed. Harmful elements such as suntan lotions, salt, chlorine, and body perspiration can cause discoloration and spandex breakdown. Since laundry detergents are too harsh on the spandex and the color, use mild hand soap made without added moisturizers. Do not wring the swimsuit to remove excess water. Lay it flat on a towel and roll the towel up and squeeze gently. Remove it from the towel and lay it flat to dry. Do not hang it to dry as that will stretch out the fibers in the fabric. Avoid using washers and dryers as damage can occur due to agitation and excessive heat. It is also important to let your suit "rest" between uses. This allows the spandex to bounce back (called recovery) to its original size and maintain its fit longer. If you wear a suit without letting it recover, it will lose its shape and fit more quickly. It's recommended to let the suit rest for 24-36 hours between uses. Always remove excess moisture with a towel and lay flat to dry indoors or in the shade. Also note, direct sunlight will fade your suit. It is always a great idea to have more than one suit.

Mixed FeelingsI love the colors in the top! It is flattering and slimming. The straps can be adjusted a LOT which is great for me because I am rather large busted with a small back and this top fits great unlike many other suits I've tried to wear. But the bottoms fit strangely. Luckily I had read a previous review that mentioned they were too big so I ordered the bottoms a size smaller than I needed. They are still very loose and I too will be taking them in. If you don't sew this bottom short style may not work for you. So the top I would give 5 stars, but the bottom only one- hence the 3 star overall rating.
